How to store your wool:

It is vital that you care for and store your wool correctly, to extend its longevity. The best way to prevent moth larvae from attacking your beautiful woollen garment is to make sure it’s used frequently and stored properly. There are several ways to store your wool, whether being in an airtight plastic bag or container. The key is that the storage unit is airtight as moths can enter very tight spaces. To repel any moths, it’s a good idea to leave a block of cedar wood or a lavender satchel in the container with your garment.
